I'm Back! Let's Get this Party Started! - Infertility Consult

I started this blog just over a year ago.  I made ONE post last year.  Wow!  Ok... I'm back.

I guess the one post in a one year really represents where our journey to have a baby has been... stuck.  Today was a big day toward becoming, well, unstuck.

Chris and I met with Dr. Seeker today for our first ever infertility consult.  The word infertility actually can mean so many things it gets confusing.  It gets even more confusing since we were able to conceive just over two years ago, but one conception in four years... it sort of places us back in the big question mark area of infertility.

For those of you who know me, I am an ACTION PLAN person.  If there is a problem, you assess, determine a solution, implement said plan to reach the solution, done.  I CAN'T STAND a no plan Sam (ie my last OB/GYN).  Over the last two years as we have tried to conceive since our miscarriage, all I heard from my previous doctor was "it will happen."  And all I wanted to do was scream at him while shaking him "WE CLEARLY HAVE A PROBLEM!"  I refrained.  (be proud of me!)  I simply found my way back to Dr. Seeker.

We accomplished more in a 20 minute appointment with Dr. Seeker than we have in the last two years.  We have a CLEAR PLAN! And that plan has TWO action steps already in place!  WHAT! WHAT!  Now THAT is my kind of doctor.  Problem - Plan - Go!

This week, we will complete said step one in the action plan.  Dependent upon results of step one, we will complete step two in the next couple of weeks.

Now I know what you are thinking.  It's just a plan, but regardless of the outcome of the plan, we are now in motion toward answers, and that is a really big step for us.  I have always known God has a plan for us.  He led us back to Dr. Seeker.  Now we have a Christian doctor helping us the rest of the way here on earth.

Big Sigh.

God is Good.  2014 is looking pretty good to me.
